On Thursday, April 6, Abdul AboEitta, Class of 2023, presented his Honors Thesis “Hyperdimensional Computing for Gesture Recognition using a Dynamic Vision Sensor”
Abdul’s thesis introduced a novel neuromorphic approach that exploits two biologically-inspired technologies: (1) Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS) and (2) Hyperdimensional Computing (HDC). By integrating technologies inspired by the human brain, the primary goal of his research is to develop more efficient and adaptable Al systems that can handle various real-world problems, overcoming the constraints faced by CNNs and backpropagation.
For additional details, here’s the flyer of Abdul’s presentation.
